Bank Vole!

I'm leading the group walk on Monday so we went to recce the route. We set off from Oswestry Racecourse on a lovely sunny day.

There were lots of birds around - we saw a Red Kite, Greater-Spotted Woodpecker, two jays and a pair of ravens. We stood still to look at some birds in the wood when I spotted a movement - it was this lovely little Bank Vole coming out of the woody litter under a tree. I just had time for a quick photo before it scurried back where it had come from. We were really lucky to see it!
